I saw the shadow decline
In another world, another time
Reflecting battles full of fear,
Far away from home
Death has been near
I fought for liberty and faith,
For survival of our race,
The toll of blood it has been high,
The dead will never see again
The sun up in the sky
I will return
Return to where I belong
Where I belong,
I will be
Be with you after this war,
After this war
What I saw beyond the gate
Eternal darkness — our fate
In everlasting night,
Deserted and destroyed
An empire without light
The flame of hope kept me alive,
The iron will to survive,
I did the things I had to do
And in my very soul
I've always been with you
I will return
Return to where I belong
Where I belong,
I will be
Be with you after this war,
After this war
I had to leave it all behind
On my way to the other side
What to find?
(I had to go)
I had to go
(Into the unknown)
Into the unknown
(Through all my fear)
Through all my fear
(You have been here)
Here in my heart
I will return
Return to where I belong
Where I belong,
I will be
Be with you after this war,
After this war
Oh, after the war!
Oh, after the war!
